“My goals are simple. First, I want to be better today than I was yesterday. Second, I want to be cat sized. And cat shaped. With the responsibilities of a cat.”

About
Hey! I’m Sophia. I’m a trans graphic designer, web developer, project manager and self-taught leatherworker. I currently live in Western Massachusetts with my two cats, Berry and Felix. I’ve been doing design work since about 2015 now, and graduated from Johnson & Wales University in 2019 with a degree in Graphic Design & Digital Media. I am also currently working on completing a Full Stack Web Developer course through Codecademy to help bolster my web development skills.
Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to expand my skillset beyond what I learned in college. I have learned 3D design/CAD, have learned Six Sigma and Agile project management methods through mentorship at work, and have fully self-taught myself to leatherwork by hand. I am currently in the process of turning my leatherworking hobby into a small business, mostly just to refund the hobby, but it would be incredible to see it take off one day and perhaps turn into something larger.

Meet the Fam
Berry
Berry is the energetic cuddlebug. He was on my lap as I was writing this, until he decided he really needed to go stare out the window and watch whatever he thinks he saw. Of the litter of six these two came from, Berry is proudly the longest, and neediest.
Felix
Felix is the most elegant, anxious boy on the planet. He proudly and majestically will sit with you, until there is any sound, and then go back under the bed. Of their litter of six, Felix is proudly the largest of the bunch. He also has top tier loafing capabilities.
Sam
Sam is our old man. He lives with my mother and brother in Rhode Island now, and looks surprisingly young in this photo! He loves the beach, even though he’s a little afraid of the water. He shares his house with Red, a much younger dog who thinks he runs the show (but Sam does, really).
Contact
If you’re here it’s probably because I reached out to you.
But if that’s not the case, shoot me a message! I’d love to chat about anything and everything.
